im not talking about cheap knockoffs, im talking copying things like an ikea store. why copy ikea? why not build your own brand? i mean copy a whole store?
it seems that the chinese idea of innovation is go and copy something that's already been successful. will China ever produce an original product? a chinese top brand that isnt copy of somthing?
LiNing. Nike
Weibo. tweeter
renren. facebook
i could go on all day.
China was the 1st in many things... way back..... Pizza.. (Marco Polo took it to Italy and made some changes.. same as Chinese Dumpling... Ravioli??? Paper?? im sure there is a long list which us westerners can be without
This is just a very shortlist.
Yeah, u r right, we didn't really do a lot during the last 200years.
It's only because we did too much during the last 2000years and we need a break. Why cannot u westerners do something for us? U only want to be taught and leaded by China?
If that is the case, ok, we will end the "vacation" and start to work and think~ Cheezs Christ, is it too much to ask? 200years break?
Admin dumb cunt can't delete write shit fuck you i win cunt face
As of now China isn't being very innovative. But in the future I think this will change if the educational system can actually move beyond memorizing useless texts and basing progression and intelligence off of written tests
i would like to see a Chinese Steve Jobs billionare some day.
or Chinese Bill Gates.
not a Chinese billionare that copied Bill Gates.
Njord, don't u think it's all because of the 4things that u westerners invented all the stuff u listed?
R we talking about original?
What did Newton said? Did u learn that in kindergarden?
Sorry but Newton was Chinese. So was Bill Gates. So is Barack Obama. And Genghis Khan was DEFINITELY Chinese, no way he was Mongolian. Tom Cruise is also Chinese, so is OJ Simpson, as are Sarah Palin, Amy Winehouse, Margaret Thatcher, Kathy Lee Gifford, Richard the Lionheart and Gaahl from Gorgoroth (sorry Njord, but the truth hurts).
And don't you people know that without gunpowder, paper, the compass and printing press, NOTHING WOULD EXIST! The entire world would be a black hole: a vortex that sucked in light and let nothing escape (a bit like modern-day Iceland).
So you have the Chinese to thank for the creation of the universe, basically. And the Universe was Mao Zedong's idea. Which is why he is so revered in China. So there.
Wow! Well, that solves everything!
China has the ability to copy, therefore it's ok! It's not IP theft if you can copy it!
Njord...... Your research date back to the 14th century.. nothing earlier?? I think you need to do some homework. Ok ill go for eye surgery if you will go for a brain transplant. lol The west never admit if other nations invented or better a item. In your history and movies who is the hero?
west does not mean a single country ,but china is just one country ?
how come it be fare to compare a single country and a whole bunch of countries ?
also, china hasn't invented anything too substantial ,but we should be happy that ,at least it didn't go stealing and kidnapping scientists from other countries;like the U.S did from Germany ..
sunilsah, how come I didn't think about the kidnap!!! I did learn that at school…… and one of my major is German, shame on myself!
Ludovico, u r right, I have to 加油!Still a lot to learn and review as well. But one thing I can teach u is about Genghis Khan, he surely was Chinese, he was one who made China become one really big China, and if he can live longer, guess there will be no Europe……and maybe no America, who knows. Chinese is not the people who speaks Mandarin, is the people who lives in this land or has this blood. Don't get me wrong, 200years ago, there is no such country called Mongolia, thanks to the westerners, my home town is Inner Mongolia when I say that, a lot people think I am a foreigner too, what did ur school teach u? Poor kids!
fuck, fucker, fucking Admin won't let me delete my posts now the Admin can delete them for me...
Where did u learn ur English? What does "Hometown" mean? My home is a town?
And how many Chinese ethnic groups do u know? They feel they r not Chinese? Who r u to speak on their behalf? WTF u r doing here? Feel sick when other foreigners become native?
GFU and pack ur stuff get out of China!
Traditionally, China has got its up and downs. there was a great up when the big four were invented, it was more or less balanced but it's true it's been a down for the last 100 years or so, when all the big discoveries and inventions happened. But China is going upward, just look at the economy! Maybe there is nothing immensly breathtaking that China invented for the last decades, but the time is nigh!
